At the root of it, network transfer is the best bet.

My Jellyfin and Plex containers were able to use the same locations for media.

They are working on a cross platform app now. I can click mod manager download on cyberpunk mods, and it will install them as easy as the windows version.

Currently takes a bit of tinkering to set up, but its promising.

I popped some songs onto my Jellyfin server, and that’s worked out.

I was even able to stream it to my car using Android Auto.

I bought this Protectli Vault FW2B , and installed OPNSense strictly for firewall since I don’t control the router in my town home.

I used this guide to set up a transparent bridge so I can filter out traffic before it gets to the subnet my property manager assigned to me.

Setting it up was a great learning experience. One thing that was odd for me though, was that I had to change the label of the interfaces in the ui to match the label on the hardware.

It made a huge difference in windows thats for sure. From the windows splash screen to applications becoming responsive took for fucking ever on a HDD. I’d imagine on linux it’d be much faster on a HDD, but I switched after ssds became the norm.

Gaming in Arch Linux through Steam has been incredibly smooth for me.

EndeavourOS was my 3rd repo and has been my go-to ever sense.

Fucking hell.

I’ve been using Nova for years, it’s nice there are replacement recommendations on this thread.

Thanks for the share!

I’ve always liked tui file managers, broot is a pretty cool one as well.

I’ve been on Endeavor for close to 2 years now. It’s been great.

Thanks for the clarification. I’ll be updating my settings.

I’ve set my secondary DNS to cloudflare, and my pihole still blocked ads for me. I assumed the secondary DNS server is used only if the primary can’t be pinged. But i haven’t actually looked into it.

Played out of the box for me in steam(with proton enable) last night for me.

I did have problems with my mouse not going all the way to the right wide of the screen in Wayland though.

Interesting, I didn’t know IPv4 addresses converted to hex could be used for anything.

Plus one here for EndeavourOS.

I’ve been using EndeavourOS for about 2 years now, it’s a fantastic distro!

You are literally me.

Though after my introduction to Manjaro with i3, I switched to EndeavourOS with BSPWM.
